Traffic conditions, availability and your location can impact how long it takes for an emergency locksmith to reach you. The majority of emergency locksmiths will aim to arrive at your home within 30 minutes.

You can expect a simple lock fix to take approximately 15 minutes. Gaining entry to your home may take longer if the damage is severe or more complex replacement parts are needed.

Locksmiths are not required to be licensed in the UK. The UK Government does not regulate the locksmith industry and tradespeople can legally provide locksmith services without any official registrations or licences.

While there is no ‘locksmith licence’, we recommend only hiring an emergency locksmith with the relevant qualifications and experience.

It is advisable to ask the following questions to make sure you are hiring a reputable emergency locksmith in Llandrindod Wells:

• What insurance cover do you have?

• What are your qualifications?

• Are you a member of any industry organisations, such as the Master Locksmith Association (MLA)?

• Is your work covered by any warranties or guarantees?

  Asking questions before hiring is an effective way to find qualified emergency locksmiths near you. Avoid hiring a tradesperson who is unable to provide proof of insurance and lacks the experience needed to successfully complete the work.

Emergency locksmiths have the tools and skills necessary to unlock a door without causing damage. Locksmiths can safely pick a lock, allowing you to gain entry to your home without breaking the lock mechanism or damaging the key in the process.

Qualified emergency locksmiths are trained how to use various non-destructive unlocking methods. However, occasionally things can go wrong and that is why it is important to hire a locksmith with up to date insurance cover.
